To prepare:

  • Read this week’s Learning Resources. Pay particular attention to the strengths and weaknesses of different organizational structures. In addition, consider how organizational characteristics, such as size, position in the organizational life cycle, the degree of departmental separation that exists, and the amount of work process coordination that is required, may help to determine which type of structure would be most effective.
  • Bring to mind the type of strategy you recommended for the organization that you selected in Module 1.
  • Identify the type of structure you would recommend for the organization, based on the recommended strategy and the organizational characteristics addressed in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Consider challenges associated with the type of structure you identified and how you would address each.

  • Identify the type of strategy you recommended for the organization that you selected in Module 1. (The Coca Cola Company)
  • Describe the type of organizational structure that you would recommend, and explain why. In your response, be sure to address why the structure would be most effective given the strategy that you recommended and specific organizational characteristics (e.g., size of the organization, position in the organizational life cycle, degree of departmental separation, and degree to which work process coordination is necessary). 
  • Explain the degree to which the decision making within the structure that you proposed will be centralized or decentralized. 
  • Explain the advantages and advantages of the structure you proposed. 
  • Describe at least one challenge associated with the structure that you proposed. Explain how you would mitigate the challenge. Be specific.
